Bit disconcerting to be glowered at by these guys the whole time I'm sewing. I just smile benignly back at them. Because I'm having fun!
The tiny details on Mr Scrooge's grumpy face give him so much expression, so they are totally worth doing. Stiffened felt eyebrows, card stock nose, pipe cleaner pork chops and goatee. Don't forget to redden the end of his nose and his cheeks. It's pretty cold and dark at his house, remember. Stingy ol' skinflint that he is. As always, I give super detailed instructions, diagrams, and tips to make assembling his face easier. You can do it! (And I also suggest alternatives.)
This pattern isn't available just yet, but will be soon. I'm finishing up the final touches on the four samples (two in each palette) and planning my photo shoot. I'm hoping for a nice, sunny day tomorrow so I can make that happen and begin the final round of edits.
In other recent news, National Nonwovens featured my patterns in their special Stay At Home issue of Felt News. Thanks, guys! That was so kind. I have to agree, wool felt crafts are the ideal isolation projects.
My husband is growing chops just like those in these days of covid isolation. Same color, too. 😂
ReplyDeleteMy Schmoopie has grown a really magnificent beard during his mandatory work-from-home. It's half gray, half red, which was unexpected! haha!
DeleteI cannot stop marveling at these adorable guys, even the grumpy face is so becoming!
ReplyDeleteI am yet to see such a meticulous artist and crafter. You are the best Larissa!
Lalita, you are always so sweet. I'm most certainly not the best, but I am meticulous! Haha! Thank you! :-)
